With wit and wonder, Sealy traces their transcontinental journey from lost temples near Kanchipuram to glass-walled galleries in Kansas City and Minneapolis--finding along the way unexpected kinship with rebels and visionaries, from Rosa Parks to Carson McCullers. Blending the spiritual with the personal, the mythic with the mundane, Sealy offers a dazzling, genre-defying reflection on how the sacred persists, how memory travels, and how history is always being rewritten by those bold enough to reclaim it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIrwin Allan Sealy\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Allahabad in North India in 1951 and educated in Lucknow and Delhi.
